Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland: The Female Protagonist Has Become a God

Lu Siyan teleported into Shu Yin's house with Cang Xingyue.

The room was quiet; the only sound was their breathing.

Suddenly an alarm sounded, accompanied by a flurry of red lights sweeping over the two of them.

"Beep, beep, beep! Someone's intruding! Someone's intruding! Be alert! Be alert!"

The sudden sound immediately alerted the two, who stood back to back, their eyes searching for the source of the sound.

There is a red-flashing alarm on each of the four walls, and another one in the center of the ceiling.

Lu Siyan raised his hand, clenching his fist tightly. With several shattering sounds, the alarm on the wall exploded.

The alarm on the ceiling was also shattered by Cang Xingyue's whip, and the piercing alarm sound completely disappeared.

Lu Siyan chuckled and looked at the broken pieces on the ground: "He really is a cautious person."

Cang Xingyue crossed her arms and looked at him, asking leisurely, "Since he's that kind of person, would he keep the mutation agent at home?"

"Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. If he's confident enough, he'll make that mistake. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't; we can wait for him to come back..."

Picking up where he left off: "Take it from him again?"

Lu Siyan raised an eyebrow at her and smiled, "You understand me."

Cang Xingyue pursed her lips and turned to walk towards the small room: "Hurry up, what we're doing now isn't exactly honorable."

As soon as she gripped the doorknob, a jolt of electricity shot through her, and a sharp pain shot through her palm. Cang Xingyue quickly let go.

Cang Xingyue frowned as she looked at her injured hand.

She had just felt a strong electric current on the door. If it weren't for the fact that she was a superhuman and that the Pure Lotus could prevent fatal injuries, any ordinary person would probably be a corpse by now.

Lu Siyan, who was searching in the living room, noticed her unusual behavior and quickly teleported over.

"what happened?"

Seeing her injured hand, a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes. He gently took her hand and began to treat it, while scolding her in his voice.

"Stupid woman, you've hurt yourself again after I wasn't watching you for just a moment. Should I tie you to my side and never leave your side?"

Cang Xingyue muttered softly, "I didn't know the door was electrified. I'm not a masochist who likes to cause pain."

Lu Siyan glanced at the closed door, then at the woman with a wronged expression, and pinched her cheek: "Why didn't you tell me you wanted to go in? Am I just for decoration?"

Cang Xingyue looked him up and down and then chuckled: "You're so big, you take up quite a bit of space just as a decoration."

He put his hand on Lu Siyan's shoulder: "So let's use it. Now take me inside."

Lu Siyan smiled and reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, then teleported her into the small room.

The small room was very cold. Inside, there was a row of glass cabinets containing empty reagent bottles and some colorful, unidentified liquid medicines.

Lu Siyan glanced at the various medicine bottles displayed in the cabinet and asked, "What kind of mutator is it?"

Recalling the appearance of the alienating agent, he slowly said, "A small square glass bottle with a cork stopper and a green liquid."

Lu Siyan nodded, and then began searching in the cabinet.

Cang Xingyue's gaze fell on him and followed his movements, a look of confusion on her face: "I'm curious, what do you need the mutation agent for?"

He paused for a moment while searching for something, then said casually, "I want to learn something through it."

He didn't specify what it was about, and Cang Xingyue wisely refrained from pressing him further, since everyone has their own secrets.

You can't stop someone from saying what they want to say, and you can't get to the bottom of what they don't want to say; all you'll get are some evasive lies.

Seeing that she didn't press the matter, Lu Siyan was slightly surprised: "Aren't you curious?"

Not every curiosity needs to be satisfied.

Lu Siyan smiled calmly: "You really are special."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

His gaze deepened as he looked at her: "If you want to know, I can tell you."

"If you have something to say, I can listen."

The two exchanged a smile and tacitly refrained from bringing it up again.

...

"Xingyue, I've detected the mutator, and the results aren't good."

The system's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible sorrow.

"How is the result?"

"It's true that the mutation agent can grant ordinary people superpowers after use, but as time goes on, the mutation agent will be completely absorbed and integrated into the body, and the user will gradually turn into a zombie. This process will not exceed three months, and because it is a zombie transformed from a superpowered person, it will directly become a high-level zombie."

"what?!"

The system's words struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her frozen in place, filled with shock and fear.

It turns out that the "different" in "different agent" refers to mutation, not superpower.

Most people in the base have used the alien agent, and there are very few residents left who haven't.

The person who created this drug is truly ruthless! Although the Dongliu base cannot compare with other large bases, it still has at least a thousand people, if not tens of thousands.

It's unimaginable that thousands of people could all turn into high-level zombies at once!

High-level zombies possess the ability to devour; if they were allowed to evolve into mutated zombies, the consequences would be...

Forcing her voice to stay trembling, she asked, "Is there any way to save them?"

The system remained silent for a long time, so long that she thought it had disconnected from her.

"Too late."

The system's words were like a death sentence.

Undeterred, he pressed on, "System, aren't you supposed to be amazing? You gave me the serum and pulled me back from the brink of death, so why can't you save them now?"

"I only have one antiviral serum, and only one Pure Lotus. Because you are my host, I will help you and save you."

Cang Xingyue paused for a moment, then replied, "I understand, thank you, system."

Since there's no way to undo what's happened, all she can do now is prevent things from getting worse.

A cold finger smoothed out the slight furrow in Cang Xingyue's brow.

"If you frown too much, you'll get wrinkles."

Cang Xingyue snapped out of her thoughts and subconsciously touched her forehead.

Lu Siyan hugged Cang Xingyue from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder: "What are you thinking about?"

Cang Xingyue turned her head to look at his profile and asked, "Aren't you going to look for the mutation agent anymore?"

"We can skip finding the alienating agent, but we need to find you. Honey, is something on your mind? If I can help, I'd be happy to do it for you."

Cang Xingyue chuckled and said, "Since you put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

She told him about the alienating agent, but kept the system a secret.

Lu Siyan's expression turned serious for a moment after hearing this, then he joked, "So, my zombie army is going to grow even larger?"

She glared at him speechlessly: "Is this what you're focusing on?"

With a playful smile, Lu Siyan whispered in her ear, "No, what I'm concerned about is when you'll marry me."

Cang Xingyue turned around in embarrassment and anger and punched him: "Just you wait, you dog of a man."

Lu Siyan smiled and took her hand, then said seriously, "I will help you with whatever you want to do."
